It looks like I must have grabbed the wrong seed envelope or

be...something else

Do zucchini plants and flowers look like pumpkin plants and flowers? I
swear I have fruits on the "zucchini" that are coming out perfectly
round like melons. I have flowers on my pumpkins (except now I cannot
be sure they ARE pumpkins) that are big, orange and showy- exactly the
same appearance as what I thought were zukes.

Words of advice appreciated!

Zucchini blooms do look like pumpkin blooms. There are round varieties of
zucchini. Even elongated ones can start out round behind the fading bloom.
Pick one and cut it in half. If it's a zucchini, even when small it'll
have cream-colored flesh ready to eat. A pumpkin, not.
